Human Behaviour Representation - Definition

Abstract

This paper is taken from the Final report of LTSS SAS-017 on Human Behaviour Representation in which A. v. Baeyer and J. Mylle gave this definition of HBR. Human behaviour (B) is a purposive reaction of a human being (P) to an idiosyncratic meaningful situation (S). Formally expressed: B= f(P,S). In words: the observed variability in behaviour is attributable to differences in the person's characteristics, to differences in the situation and/or to the interplay of both. Mathematically spoken: the variation in the measured behaviour can be explained by the variation in P, the variation in S and interaction between P and S (measurement error not taken into account). This definition implies that human behaviour.
